Admit it and shame d devil, what other language order than arguably d second most spoken language in Africa, easy to understand, sexy, widely use by BBC, VOA,German, Dutch, Russia media in Radio transmission.

Give it up to HAUSA joor.

who b dis sef? U do hausa for sec skool, islamiya, born and raised in d north? I wan knw how much u understand hausa.
I did not say there is 'da' Allah' , i was tryna tel u what it cud sound like if loosely pronounced.

I never did Hausa in Secondary skool, am a full blooded Hausa boy, thogh raised in Lagos, but but dat doesn't erode ma understanding of d Language, be it sakwatanchi, kannanchi and other form of Hausa dialects and pronunciation.

We are all learning, and its being fun, so no need hitting d roof.

writting dan Allah is wrong; especially in terms of pleading. Havnt u heard 'da' Allah' b4? Na so d thing b.

Its all prounciation problem, nothing like DA Allah. It sound Dan Allah or Don Allah.

Wish I could send a voice note.

D DAN here is not dat of Dangote it sound like a short way of saying Daniel as in DAN.

blame it on pronounciation. It is 'don' and not 'dan'.
Mai kasuwa=owner of market.
Kintashi lafiya?

It is all pronounciationg complexities, DAN Allah and DON Allah, are both right.

DAN in Dangote and DAN in DAN Allah are written d same but not pronouce d same way

Hausas from Sokoto, Kebbi, Zamfara, part of Katsina mostly sound DON Allah, while Hausas from Kano and other places Pronouciation sound like DAN Allah.

Even d word DAN in Dangote,cannot b properly pronounce by those who don't understand Hausa well, it does not sound like pronouncing DAniel as most ppl pronounce it.

na gode. ke bahaushe ne??

Ke bahaushiya ce? (To a female). Are u an Hausa

If u say "Are u an Hausa?, its difficult for others to know if u r speaking to a female or male without seeing d person in question, but in Hausa, u can actually tell d gender without seeing d person

kai bahaushe ne= are u an Hausa (reffering to a male)

Bahaushiya or bahausa = female Hausa person.

Bahaushe = male hausa person.

Kun gane ko? = you understand? (Referring to a group)

Ka gane ko = referring to a male

Ke gane ko = referring to a female

"Ina fatan kun gane"? I hope u understand. (In dis statement, am I reffering to a male, female or group?) Fastest finger.

I also want to learn hausa fa,just that i tend to forget the small small ones am being taught so quick. Funny thing is, i dated an hausa girl for a year and i never care to learn nada all those time. Now i found myself in Lafia town and its si frustrating not understanding this language wallahi.

Eyyah! No wahala, just go through the basic ones translated here, and post comments, phraes or words u want us to interpret, am sure those in primary 2, and 3 will also help u, as u r just enrolling in2 primary 1. Barka da zuwa.
